Writer Harrison Wilcox has teased what fans can expect from new ongoing series She-Hulks for Marvel Comics.

The series launches following the conclusion of recent Hulk event World War Hulks, and will see the original She-Hulk Jennifer Walters team up with Lyra, a character from an alternate dimension who is the daughter of the Hulk and superheroine Thundra.

The new title will see the two characters attempt to track down the remaining members of the Intelligencia, a team of supervillains which includes the likes of MODOK, The Leader, and the Wizard.

"As a writer, having Jen try to shepherd Lyra in the ways of a superhero and as a 'normal' teenage girl is a lot of fun," Wilcox explained to Newsarama concerning the inclusion of relatively new character Lyra. "If they don't end up killing each other they might actually grow as people from the experience."

Wilcox also explained that it was important for the industry to continue to push ongoing series which feature female leads, noting that apart from the likes of DC Comics' Birds of Prey there are very few series prominently featuring strong female characters.

The character of She-Hulk has a long history of ongoing series being cancelled and relaunched, with four previous ongoing series featuring the character in a lead role.

There has also been a great deal of speculation as to whether Betty Ross will join the series as a cast member after her recent transformation into the Red She-Hulk but Wilcox hasn't confirmed when this might happen.

"Not in the first arc," he explained. "But with a book called She-Hulks you know she'll end up playing a role down the road."
